I initially tried to do the scaling myself with 2 games and it was just madness (scene size = view size or scene scale mode = .ResizeFill). You have to adjust all values e.g font size, sprite sizes, impulses etc for all devices and it will never be consistent. So you have 2 options basically … Read more
The problem is AVAudioSession can’t be active while the app enters background. This isn’t immediately obvious because Sprite Kit makes no mention that it uses AVAudioSession internally. The fix is quite simple, and also applies to ObjectAL => set the AVAudioSession to inactive while the app is in background, and reactivate the audio session when … Read more
We had this issue, and it turned out that we were simply not using the “correct” font name. In our case, we were using “Menlo” instead of “Menlo-Regular” when instantiating our SKLabelNode, and it was incurring the several-second penalty. Once we used the correct font name, the delay no longer happened. (Curiously, the SKLabelNode still … Read more
If you are using Xcode 8 or above, you can use the memory graph thingy to see what object holds a reference to what object. To see the memory graph, first build and run your app with Xcode. When you want to check whether all the instances you created are discarded properly, go to this … Read more
You can’t get desired behaviour because you haven’t set category, contact and collision bit masks properly. Here is an example on how you can set this to work: greenBall.physicsBody?.categoryBitMask = GreenBallCategory //Category is GreenBall greenBall.physicsBody?.contactTestBitMask = RedBarCategory | WallCategory //Contact will be detected when GreenBall make a contact with RedBar or a Wall (assuming that … Read more
iOS working code: CGRect textureSize = CGRectMake(0, 0, 488, 650); CGImageRef backgroundCGImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@”background.png”].CGImage; UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.level.worldSize); // use WithOptions to set scale for retina display CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGContextDrawTiledImage(context, textureSize, backgroundCGImage); UIImage *tiledBackground = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); UIGraphicsEndImageContext(); SKTexture *backgroundTexture = [SKTexture textureWithCGImage:tiledBackground.CGImage]; SKSpriteNode *backgroundNode = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithTexture:backgroundTexture]; [self addChild:backgroundNode];
update: Xcode 8.2.1 • Swift 3.0.2 You need to add the import statement and this extension to your game scene: import UIKit extension UIView { var snapshot: UIImage? { UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(bounds.size, false, 0) defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() } drawHierarchy(in: bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true) return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() } } let myImage = view?.snapshot
You’re creating a new view controller but never presenting it: SpriteViewController *viewController = [SpriteViewController alloc]; I’m assuming that SpriteViewController is what presents your SpriteMyScene, and you’d like to hand control back to the presenting SpriteViewController. You need to keep a reference to SpriteViewController in your SpriteMyScene subclass, and then access that reference when you call … Read more
I am looking for the exact same thing, as it turn out I have done a small web app for this purpose. SKPhysicsBody Path Generator as action in example: Update 2015-02-13: script <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset=”UTF-8″> <title>SpriteKit Tools – SKPhysicsBody Path Generator</title> <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css”> <style> /* disable responsive */ .container { max-width: … Read more
Your scene it is not necessarily the same size of your view. You can check the size of your scene as follow: view.scene!.frame.size view.scene!.frame.width view.scene!.frame.height view.scene!.frame.midX view.scene!.frame.midY
